Summary:
This is the last time I’m going to practice…
Natsuki Enomoto, a third-year student at Sakuragaoka High School, has feelings of unrequited love for her childhood friend, Yuu Setoguchi.
Unable to be true to her own feelings, Natsuki tells Yuu that she is merely using him as a stand-in to practice confessing her love to.
As Natsuki continues to pretend not having any feelings for Yuu, her classmate Koyuki Ayase asks her out on a date.
Will Natsuki ever be able to stop “practicing” and actually confess her love to Yuu? (Source: Aniplex USA)
Review:
I haven’t watched any shoujo anime for a while then I came across this shoujo movie I thought why not watch it and see what it’s all about. It was a very typical shoujo. It reminded me of a manga that I read a while back. Basically, the two main characters love each other. However, they won’t admit it or are not aware of it yet. So, they practice to be each other’s boyfriend/girlfriend.
It’s probably something you’ve seen before. Somehow, it felt refreshing for me to watch this. It was kind of innocent and kind of cheesy. Everything that I wouldn’t normally watch. I really enjoyed it. I think shoujo fans would appreciate a movie like this one as well.
Overall Rate: 7/10
